Hello, we're here for more happier, a podcast where we get happier.

It's the weekend.

It's observations and reflections with a looser vibe.

Hey, Elizabeth.

Hi, Gritch.

Today we'll talk about my April Fool's triumph, and I will ask Elizabeth about a question

related to Los Angeles.

But first, something making us happier.

Elizabeth, what's something making you happier? What is making me happier is the re-emergence of

Lena Dunham, the creator and star of girls. Gretchen, you know I love girls so much. I just did a rewatch of it. And the funny thing about that is that I thought I alone had this idea that I wanted to rewatch girls. But I've seen Lena Dunham and a bunch of interviews lately because she has a new book out called FamSick, which is a memoir, which I'll talk about in a second. But she was saying on a lot of interviews that it's a thing that people are re-watching girls. So apparently I was just in the zeitgeist and I didn't even realize it. Well, it's funny because that's on my 26 for 26 list, which is to watch girls. And that's just because of you, because you told me to watch Mad Men for years, and I didn't.

And then I finally did, and I loved it beyond all measure.

And then I thought, well, you always say how great girls is.

And so I've been meaning to do it too, but I didn't realize that it's part of culture right now.

So that's so interesting.

Yeah, Gretchen.

And in Fame Six, she chronicles sort of how creating

girls and all the way through the whole run of the show. And during that whole time,

she was dealing with a chronic illness, which really had devastating, like, physical effects.

And she didn't know exactly what was going on. So it was really a lot to

deal with. And when you think that at the same time, she was starring in a show, doing a lot of

the writing of the show, directing a lot of the show. I mean, it kind of blows my mind.
